I am curious to see in terms of highest to lowest DPS, how do these gear compare?
Please order these from highest DPS to lowest DPS:

Zerker Ascended(Power+, Precision, Ferocity)
Zerker Exotic
Zerker Rare
Zerker Masterwork
Zerker Fine
Zerker White
Zealot Ascended(Power+, Precision)
Valkyrie Ascended(Power+, Ferocity)
Soldier Ascended(Power+)
Assassin Ascended(Precision+, Power, Ferocity)
Captain Ascended(Precision+, Power)
Knight Ascended(Power, Precision)
Cleric Ascended(Power)
Magi Ascended(Precision)
Celestial Ascended
Nomad Ascended(Nothing)

Please assume:
Ranger with Greatsword just spamming Auto-attack(No other skills)
No Runes, Traits, Sigils, Infusions, Boons, Quickness or other special effects.
Full Equipment of said tier and stats
Exclude any form of Condition Damage
Include Weapon Strength in calculations
(Edited: for clarification)

Essentially, I want to see if for example, somebody running Full Valkyrie Ascended gear would have DPS at least equivalent to say someone in Full Masterwork Zerker gear, etc.

You will need to specify further, or you might not get the answers you want. For example, are the boons might and fury provided by the build (traits/skills/runes/sigils) to be included in the calculation?

Also, the answer will depend on the build (traits/skills/runes/sigils/profession). The ranking of armor sets on a thief might be different compared to the ranking on a mesmer, or even on two thiefs running different builds. The easiest way to show this is the precision cap: if a build gets to 100% crit chance, then further precision increase is wasted. As a results, sets with more power than precision will be more favorable with this build compared to other builds that do not max crit chance that easily.

Thanks, edited for clarification,

A little wiki research goes a long way
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment

GS weapon strength
Asc/Leg 1045-1155
Exo 995-1100
Rare 882-975
MW 819-906
Fine ? (not combing through karma vendors to try to find a lvl 80 blue GS)
White 606-670

Should be enough for you to calculate what you want.

The wiki has very clear numbers for damage.

For example: An ascended weapon with power stats will deal ~6-12% more damage than an exotic one with the same stat combo.

Could you link me to where the wiki says that a White Berserker’s L80 Greatsword would do more damage than an Ascended Valkyrie’s L80 Greatsword? Thank you.

Prefixes do not matter, at all.

All you need is the correct formula for dps.
Get that, put it into excell and enter as much data as you wish, then compare the results.

In case you cant figure out the formula:

Raw Damage: Weapon Damage*Power*Skill Coefficient/Armor

Critical modifier: [(Crit chance/100*Crit damage)+(100-crit chance)]/100

Total dps: Raw Damage*Crit Modifier/Attack Duration
